Vantaggi

Benefits, Benefits, Benefits! Harvard is known for this but the other great advantage are your fellow employees. There are so many interesting, quality people who work here it's been a joy to come to the office. I find the questions and challenges I face in my job to be interesting as well. We're in tough times right now in every sector but all the same at Harvard there are the resources to try new things within your organization and in general the senior management is excited to hear about new and better ways to approach problems. Harvard's also a meritocracy in the truest sense. Talent is rewarded in ways that aren't possible in most Higher Education Institutions in Boston.

Svantaggi

There is only so far someone not in a faculty position can go at Harvard. If you are a manager and want to move up, there's only so far you can go. I also feel like the biggest challenge at Harvard is communication. Almost every part of the University faces this problem.

Vantaggi

This place is huge, your mileage may vary based on which school and which department you work in - even in the same role. I have the best manager hands-down, and the team around me makes it all worth it.

Svantaggi

Pay is slow to advance, PTO stuck at 15ish days annual, career advancement is inconsistent

Vantaggi

Great Union and benefits for non-profits/higher ed. Wonderful colleagues outside of leadership!

Svantaggi

GSD Development and Alumni Relations (under current leadership) is an incredibly toxic work environment. I didn't realize the intensity of the toll it took on my until after leaving, and I am not one to leave a negative review, but as they are hiring for several positions currently, I wish to share words of caution with applicants. Cons: - Absolutely not a safe space for anyone who is Black, brown, trans, queer, working-class, or disabled - 100% top-down direction. No room for personal exploration, initiative, or creativity. - Minimal guidance from leadership - Frequent pivots, even in the late stages of projects - Petty, immature talking behind your back by leadership - No upward mobility unless the Associate Dean or Dean like you - Deeply disingenuous comments, reflections, and feedback from leadership - Complete lack of transparency on direction, goals, etc. - Small mistakes are made cornerstones of performance evaluations, while leadership routinely missteps. Leadership never takes accountability. - Top-down policy decisions, completely lacking detail, thought, and care outside of legal ramifications - Ever-changing in-office requirements
